We had a very bad wind storm that blew the top lid to this storage shed open. In the process in pulled a couple of screws out and broke the end of the gas shock. I called customer support to order some replacement parts. They were very nice and said that it was still under the manufacture warranty so they were able to send me the parts free of charge. That was Great! Thank you so much! My shed is now functional again and I love it!

Purchased this from Lifetime and it arrived at my house in about three weeks. Took just at two hours putting it together — mostly by myself. There are only four parts that really require a second person: connecting the floor pieces together, adding the stiffening rails to the walls after you get them attached, attaching the doors to the main unit, and attaching the lid hinges to the main unit. All four of these require more hands and distance than a single human can accomplish. The rest can be assembled without assistance. As far as "site prep" this sits on my driveway. I had the asphalt company come out and pour a flat, level pad by the wall to set it on based upon the dimensions of the box online. I'd recommend if you do something similar to make it deeper than the dimensions of the box (luckily, I did). The lid, when in the upright position, sits slightly back from the back edge and requires the box to be not quite flush up against a wall so the foundation needs to be slightly deeper than the box itself to accommodate it.. There is one step that needs modification, and one part that needed adjustment in that step. When you are assembling the doors and connect the stiffening rails to the doors that are on the opposite side of the hinges, I recommend only putting a single screw in halfway and then attaching the hinges before putting the rest of the screws in. The instructions call for putting all of the screws in, and then attaching the hinges and trying to hit the holes in these rails blindly. The holes, unfortunately, are not aligned with the divots on the plastic. This is because each pair of holes in the inside rail are about 1/8" too far apart in relation to the divots on the injection moulded part, and if you screw it down tight you won't know which direction to angle the hinge screws on the second hinge. I had the same issue on BOTH doors, so clearly the door piece is slightly off what the metal piece's holes are. So, put the bar in with a single screw, halfway drilled. Then, put the hinges on. First one straight in and the second angled to hit the holes on the inside bar. Then, put the rest of the screws in for that stiffening rail. Repeat this on both doors. Otherwise, this was easy to put together and everything lined up well. Make sure you have a good, soft mallet so you can encourage pieces to fit together tightly and not damage the plastic.

I had high hopes for this shed. Assembly was a bit of a pain but manageable. However, despite being on a solid, level surface the end product is rather flimsy. Getting the doors and lid to stay closed completely is difficult at best. After some relatively strong winds, my shed is a pile of trash. I do not recommend this unit for any sort of outdoor purposes.

This is a great storage shed.However the putting it together part OMG. It took 3 of us and 4.5 hours all together. The directions are not that good. The screws are NOT labeled in individual baggies. However its finally together and in the back yard. Would I recommend this product absolutely. However just be prepared, have patience when putting together.

I have kept this storage shed out in the winter rain and snow, and summer sun, of Corvallis, Oregon for the past year. It has held up perfectly. The shed holds three of my bikes; I could probably fit a fourth in there if I tried really hard. Alongside the bikes, I am also able to keep a bike rack and a few other small items in there. I originally bought this to prevent theft after losing parts off my bike, which had been locked to a bike rack, on multiple occasions. Nobody has ever broken into this shed. If you wanted to, you could bend the plastic open, but I think because would-be thieves cannot see into the shed to spot cameras or motion sensors (as I have installed), they don't try. I haven't cleaned the thing in the year I have owned it, and it still looks fine. I'm sure it would clean up well in its current state. My only complaint is that the hydraulic struts are a bit stiff. I'm sure there is a way to adjust this, but it's not a big enough problem to actually do so.

So glad we finally got one loving how big it is!! Took a minute to put it together about 4 hour to be exact and we are pretty handy ...but it has metal bars that makes it stable and will keep it from warping seems to be sealed well to keep the moisture out! We have a forecast for 20 inches of spring snow so we will see! Would not recommend putting it together on a hot day or in the sun! It was pretty cool when we did it but after being in the sun the plastic got a little soft and may cause screws to strip!! Loving this product so far!!!

All was good till I got to lid got two of same part waiting for the other side

Both the video and written assembly were very helpful and thorough

Plastic arghhhh

Great simple shed
